Fragrance of the Week: Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Eau de Toilette

As you'll know if you've read our trend report for next season, grey was big news on the catwalks in London, Milan and Paris. So with men across the world preparing to load-up their wardrobes with the colour, there really couldn't have been a more fortuitous - or prudent - time for Tom Ford to release a remix of his seriously good Grey Vetiver scent.

Originally launched in 2009, Grey Vetiver Eau de Parfum was the sort of woody, spicy, evening-ready fragrance that has rose to prominence at the end of last decade. Six years later and the American designer has done it again, by coming up with a fresher, more daytime-appropriate take on this tried and tested formula.

How has he done this? By keeping the notes that made the first fragrance great (a rich base of vetiver and amber mixed with grapefruit, sage and warm orris), but amped up the citrus notes by adding in lime and lemon, as well as slipping orange blossom and sweet Thai basil into the mix.

The overall effect is something distinctly summer appropriate - in short, much appreciated while looking out of the window right now. £50 for 50ml. Available at Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London W1.
